Considerable time was given to a 

 discussion of tree diseases, especially 

 the peach-leaf curl, which is believed 

 to be aggravated by the northeasterly 

 winds that are prevalent in the spring 

 of the year and against which disease 

 the horticulturists have no effective 

 remedy. It was the general opinion at 

 the meeting that, if something could 

 be found to rotanl the loafing of the 

 trees a short time, until w;irinor 

 weather, the disease could be idiiuinatod 

 or controlled.
